The drilling was carried out on the Joshua vein, on land owned by OML. Three of the holes were on the southern part of the vein with one hole (no.54)  to the north. Further drilling, with some channel sampling, has been carried out on the Joshua vein and results will be reported when received.  The drill holes were HQ size and drilled using a triple tube method to maximise recovery. Core loss, due to friable material in the sampled mineralised sections, were 49%, 47%, 49% and 30% respectively. The true width of each intersect has been estimated assuming a vertical vein, with the vertical depth of the reported intersect being at the top of the mineralised interval.

The drilling program was recently expanded to 15,000 metres drilling and is initially focused on the expansion of resources on veins close to the existing, operating, open pit gold mine.

The samples were taken by geological staff under the supervision of R.Phelps C.Eng MIMM, (President & CEO, Galantas Gold Corporation), the Qualified Person for the program. Sampling methodology, security & verification followed standard procedures previously detailed on April 5th 2006 and the samples were analysed (gold by fire assay and other metals by ICP-ORE) at OMAC Laboratory Ltd (an independent, ISO 17025 laboratory) of Galway, Ireland.
